The Sunreef 80 Eco in Gdansk without its mast, which also has solar panels

The world premiere of the much-anticipated Sunreef 80 Eco will be held at this year’s Dubai International Boat Show. The solar-electric sailing catamaran will be available for viewings at stand MD-10 throughout the five-day show, which runs from March 9-13 (Wednesday-Sunday).

Promoted by Sunreef Yachts as “the world’s most advanced sustainable luxury craft”, the electric 80 Eco is the first sailing catamaran to be built from the Polish builder’s new Eco range. The first hull was launched last month (see story at bottom).

The Sunreef 80 Eco combines advanced sustainable technology and custom-tailored design to offer fuel-free cruising in silence. The yacht’s green technology includes the shipyard’s composite-integrated photovoltaic system with solar cells built into the yacht’s hulls, mast, superstructure and flybridge roof. The yacht also includes a custom-engineered battery bank and an advanced hydrogeneration system. www.sunreef-yachts.com
